Numpy

What is NumPy?
NumPy (Numerical Python) is a powerful Python library used for numerical
computing.

It provides support for:

Large multi-dimensional arrays

Mathematical and statistical operations

Efficient computations compared to Python lists

Why Use NumPy?


Faster than Python lists

Less memory usage

Built-in mathematical functions

Widely used in Data Science, AI, ML, and Scientific Computing

Installing NumPy

pip install numpy

Importing NumPy

import numpyas np

Numpy 1
Core Data Structure – ndarray
The main object in NumPy is the ndarray (N-dimensional array).

Creating a NumPy Array

import numpyas np

arr = [Link]([1,2,3,4])
print(arr)

Output:

[1 2 3 4]

Difference Between List and NumPy Array


Feature List NumPy Array

Speed Slower Faster

Data type Mixed Same type

Operations Limited

Memory More Less

Array Types in NumPy


1D Array

arr1 = [Link]([10,20,30])
print(arr1)

Numpy 2
2D Array (Matrix)

arr2 = [Link]([[1,2], [3,4]])


print(arr2)

Array Properties

arr = [Link]([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]])

print([Link])# number of dimensions


print([Link])# rows and columns
print([Link])# total elements
print([Link])# data type

Creating Arrays Using Built-in Functions


Zeros Array

[Link](5)

Ones Array

[Link](4)

Range of Values

Numpy 3
[Link](1,10,2)

Evenly Spaced Values

[Link](1,10,5)

Array Indexing and Slicing

arr = [Link]([10,20,30,40,50])

print(arr[0])# first element


print(arr[1:4])# slicing

Basic Mathematical Operations

a = [Link]([1,2,3])
b = [Link]([4,5,6])

print(a + b)
print(a - b)
print(a * b)
print(a / b)

Universal Functions (ufuncs)

Numpy 4
arr = [Link]([1,4,9,16])

print([Link](arr))
print([Link](arr))
print([Link](arr))
print([Link](arr))

Reshaping an Array

arr = [Link]([1,2,3,4,5,6])
new_arr = [Link](2,3)
print(new_arr)

Simple Implementation Example


Find Average of Numbers Using NumPy

import numpyas np

n =int(input("Enter number of elements: "))


arr = [Link](1, n +1)

average = [Link](arr)
print("Array:", arr)
print("Average:", average)

Advantages of NumPy
High performance

Numpy 5
Easy syntax

Supports vectorized operations

Backbone for Pandas, SciPy, TensorFlow, etc.

Numpy 6
